I’ve been searching (not desperately yet) for an origami pattern depicting the Fibonacci sequence. Like this. I’m headed to the library next time I have a chance, but if you know where to find that, please let me know!

Fascinated by the designs in nature, I believe over the centuries we keep trying to recreate that which is inherently designed perfectly. Perhaps the views and vignettes we create will never be perfect in comparison, but I think we create beauty none-the-less when we strive for it.

It’s the perfect time of year to be inspired by nature, to start projects that bring the outdoors in and soak it all up. I try to spend as much time outside every nice day we get so by the time the next winter rolls around, I’ve got plenty of artful reminders of sunny, warm days.

I believe I shall take my camera for an outdoors photo session as soon as the sun comes back out.

A self-employed home renovator and interior designer, Roxanne is living in her third 1920s-era home in one of Tulsa’s oldest neighborhoods. A small-town Oklahoma girl at heart, she has also lived in Australia, which helped inspire her love of design. Roxanne loves sewing, knitting, crocheting, repurposing furniture and salvaging architectural pieces. She loves to tackle a do-it-yourself project, no matter how small or large.
As our very own “granola girl”, Roxanne dreams about designing everything from dresses to gardens to her day, whatever comes across her path.
